Interrobanging: Again, Cos I'm SOOOOO busy!

Have you ever interrobanged? 

You may well have done when describing, for example, a lollapalooza or ninnyhammer.

I, to my shame, did so whilst answering an email which contain the word callithumpian.

I fired off a quick emailed query regarding said word to the originator of the email and 

I used a multiple interrobang.

I kicked myself ,almost as soon as the email departed my laptop, as realisation

dawned that someone somewhere would know there was a word out there that 

I didn't know!

I do now! 

 

Words From A Smug B******!

I like words.

I look 'em up ... the complicated, long ones anyway ... and  I occasionally throw 'em at people just to see how they deal with it.

It's a bit of fun and it passes the time.

But it has been said, or at least hinted at, that the average English speaking person has a vocabulary size ranging between 10000 and 20000 words.

On the basis that this assumption is true, and having met very many people over the years that display vocabularic (I made this word up) skills of a chair leg, I feel forced, and indeed obliged, to elevate myself into the 'well above average' group of English speakers.
